Great hat, Michael. I like wide brims with curls

Thank you, Max!

Yes, wonderfully soft, but not too floppy. Washed, out of necessity, in a bucket of soapy water 2 or 3 times did the trick for me. Plus, I wear it ALOT.

I thought that would ruin a straw.

Hemp has unique attributes.
Fantastic collection you’re acquiring.
Well played!

Thank you! Ah, but it is only hemp, not Palma de Toquilla straw, that you could wash that way, correct?

Dunno, the only water washing I’ve done has been hemp and ball caps.

It would appear retaining the dyed color isn't one of them.

I don't know about "washing", but Sunbody's Guatemalan palm leaf hats can take a pretty good soaking. In fact, Sunbody recommends "dousing" them occasionally to "keep your hat fresher and make it last longer" if you regularly wear them in "dry weather".

I wore my M-1883 campaign hat while doing a little fly fishing today.

Cooling off in the backyard this eve with the Akubra Imperial Stylemaster / Carbon Gray. Changes colors in different light, medium grays to bluish grays.

I like this one Michael. The proportions, the brim curl and bend, a little wing. Looks good on you! Pretty cool!!

Thanks Bowen. Resistol did seem to get the proportions and curves just right on this one.

Very nice, Michael. I really like the way that crease tells how the felt must feel.

Thanks Stefan. The felt on that one is firm, but nicely malleable.

The brim curve on that one it to die for, Michael.

Thanks Stefan. Nice swoop to the Long Rider.

It's fortunate that you have such a nice stable of straws in that case. We are finally supposed to get a few days that will definitely be felt weather in morning and evening, and possibly all day long.

Thanks Max. I've been enjoying seeing all of your new hats lately. Some real beauties.

Thanks all,
Michael

Yes, the European heat wave made the news over here in the Pacific Northwest. We are track to break the all time record for consecutive 90 degree days. Good to get some wear out of your straws.

These Hemp milans seem to be kind of bullet proof. It doesn't surprise me. I know that you do this with a Sunbody palm straw. I hear it makes them heavy as hell to wear though.

Sweet. A real Cadillac of a straw.

Outstanding Panama straw!

It feels strange to me that Mexico City is sunny right now, but the weather is not hot at all, even if it's thousands of miles nearer the equator than the Netherlands.
I know it is a matter of altitude, not latitude, but still, it surprises me.
I can wear felts all the time.

Your hats are like Steven's, in that they are so beautiful it hurts a little to see them, Alan.

I feel that sweet pain sometimes too seeing Steve’s seal velour hats. Thanks!

Just finished reworking this older conversion into a brush finished longhair. Resistol Stagecoach in Chestnut. The pictures don't come near to doing this hat justice. Nice and tall straight crown with a tighter pinch. I have more in The Conversion Corral...

I'm typically not a fan of long hairs, but I suppose that one is alright . Nice conversion!

Thank you buddy. I guess it could better be described as a shorter napped longhair with a brushed finish that's silky and smooth. It definitely has a nice hand.
